Figure 11 is the block diagram of another existing preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it to shown in Figure 1 similar, has just replaced handwheel with a ratchet bar basically.
Before describing the present invention in detail, need to prove that for the sake of clarity in several views in the accompanying drawings, the similar elements with identical function is to mark with identical label.
Now see also Fig. 1-3, they show the existing preferred embodiment of the present invention.As shown in the figure, what the handwheel of ergonomical of the present invention was total indicates by 10, consists essentially of a M/C spare, and as a handwheel dish 12, it has one and is used for the rotate circumferential edge 14 of moving axis AX of manually control.
Shown embodiment shows such handwheel dish 12 with a hypotenuse flange 16.As long as separate with hypotenuse flange 16 vicinities and with turning cylinder AX, handwheel dish 12 can be that any required form is handled with convenient, comprises a ratchet bar, and is such as will be described below.
Handwheel dish 12 is interconnected on the preceding shade assembly 20.Particularly, preceding shade assembly 20 (Fig. 4,5) comprise a roughly static front shroud dish 22, it has a sun gear adapter plate 24 that is pivotally mounted on it, and this handwheel dish 12 is installed on the sun gear adapter plate 24 directly or indirectly, for example, with a plurality of bolts 27, and a separator 28 also is installed in the hole 30 (Fig. 4) of this sun gear adapter plate 24 (Fig. 2 and 3).Handwheel dish 12 correspondingly is installed on the separator 28, makes the rotation of handwheel dish 12 will cause that sun gear adapter plate 24 rotates in front shroud dish 22, and sun gear 26 is also done same rotation certainly.
Sun gear adapter plate 24 and sun gear 26 are all rounded separately, and an axle center of aliging with the turning cylinder AX of handwheel dish 12 is arranged all separately, make the manual control rotation of handwheel dish 12 will cause sun gear adapter plate 24 and sun gear 26 to rotate on its axle center, the axle center is corresponding to rotation axis AX.
No matter which kind of form cross tie part be, the basic goal of preceding shade assembly 20 be to make the manual control of handwheel dish 12 to rotate as required transmission is the identical rotation of sun gear 26.
Back shade assembly 40 shown in Fig. 6 and 7 comprises a static basically back cover dish 42, has the wheel hub 44 that is rotatably installed on it.One device as socket 46, extends from the back side of wheel hub 44, and it mainly is to be used for handwheel 10 with ergonomical to be installed on the actuator of rim brake system of guideway vehicle (not shown).The front of this rotatable hub 44 is provided with a plurality of parallel gear wheel shafts 48, and they vertically extend and evenly separate around its axle center basically from wheel hub 44, and planetary wheel 50 is pivotally mounted on each gear wheel shaft 48.
The size of the setting of gear wheel shaft 48 and planetary wheel 50 must be that planetary wheel 50 is in the plane of sun gear 26, thereby connect and engagement sun gear 26, make the rotation of sun gear 26 will cause planetary wheel 50 backward rotation equably on gear wheel shaft 48.
Shown in Fig. 8 and 9, an interior shade assembly 60 comprises a static basically inner cover dish 62, and a gear ring 64 is installed on it regularly.Gear ring 64 has the tooth road on circumferential inner surface, it is around all planetary wheels 50, and is connected with planetary wheel 50 and meshes, and makes the rotation of planetary wheel 50 that they will be rolled along the static tooth road on the gear ring 64.
In addition, on interior shade assembly 60, has a device, as a flange 66, thereby the effect that is used for interior shade assembly 60 is fixed to the device that prevents on the external structure part that inner cover dish 62 and fixed installation gear ring 64 thereon from rotating that provides is provided for it, and no matter how sun gear adapter plate 24 or wheel hub 44 rotate.
Preceding shade assembly 20 is connected on the shade assembly 40 of back, and interior shade assembly 60 is sandwiched in therebetween.As seen from the figure, the surface of this front shroud dish 22 is passed in the hole 70 of a plurality of spaced at equal intervals, back cover dish 42 and this inner cover dish 62, and they must align, and the bolt (not shown) is passed wherein so that three above-mentioned assemblies are linked together.
Although Fig. 4-9 shows each independent static front shroud dish 22, static back cover dish 42 and static inner cover dish 62, these can be as directed independent dishes and be screwed onto as described above together, perhaps in fact be exactly an independent dish or a pair of dish, as long as but such dish or the dish group of sun gear 26 opposite any one rotated, and wheel hub 44, but rotate with dish or dish group that planetary wheel 48 also opposite any one is such, and rotate independently relative to sun gear 26.
When suitably linking together as described above, the rotation of any manual control of obvious this handwheel dish 12 will cause that all sun gear 26 therewith rotates equably, and the rotation of sun gear 26 will cause planetary wheel 50 counter-rotation on gear wheel shaft 48.However, because gear ring 64 is static, and is connected with a plurality of planetary wheels 50, obviously when planetary wheel 50 rotated on gear wheel shaft 48, they rolled along the internal tooth road of gear ring 64.This will make planetary wheel 50 and gear wheel shaft 48 make orbit rotation around sun gear 26, and dress wheel hub 44 is thereon also made identical orbiting motion on the gear wheel shaft 48.
Further as can be known, the rotation of the planetary wheel 50 on the gear wheel shaft 48 must make them roll between sun gear 26 that rotates and static gear ring 64, and gear wheel shaft 48 must will be made orbiting motion between the sun gear 26 of rotation and static gear ring 64 like this.Obviously, some orbiting motions will be delivered on the rotatable hub 44 that gear wheel shaft 48 is mounted thereon.
Yet further as can be known, the rotational angle of wheel hub 44 and the scope of cireular frequency will be slightly less than the rotational angle and the cireular frequency of sun gear 26, and this is with relevant by the mechanical equivalent of light feature that handwheel produced of ergonomical of the present invention certainly.The degree of this mechanical advantage will depend on that certainly the pitch circle diameter of the radius of relatively going up of sun gear 26 and planetary wheel 50 should be substantially equal to the radius of gear ring 64.
In a test model of the present invention, the radius of the sun gear of employing is 1.33 inches, and the planetary wheel radius is 0.83 inch, can obtain 3.25: 1 mechanical equivalent of light feature.
Because the handwheel devices of ergonomical of the present invention is just rotatable quite easily for the brake personnel, rotation on the wheel hub will substantially exceed the manual rotational force on the handwheel plate wheel rim with joint efforts, and can provide one to be used for preventing to produce the excessive braking force of the system that may damage or rim brake La Detai tightly being made a traditional out-of-action device of quick release mechanism as desired.
In the embodiment illustrated herein scope, be used to prevent that the existing preferred means of this rim brake over effect from more or less comprising a traditional torque limiting apparatus, comprise that one is arranged on gear ring 64 and desire gear ring 64 is remained on thermosetting lamination and corrugated spring 80 between the stationary element on the dead position.
Shown in both, such torque limiting apparatus that comprises a thermosetting lamination and corrugated spring 80 is clipped between gear ring 64 and the front shroud dish 22 as Fig. 2 and 3.In this concrete the setting, front shroud dish 22 and back cover dish 42 are through aperture 70 or with inner cover 62 or be not screwed onto with it.
In this specific embodiment, the dead position of gear ring 64 keeps by the friction compressive force on the interface between gear ring 64 and the front shroud dish 22, and if not, gear ring 64 can rotate relative to inner cover dish 62 and back cover dish 42.In this specific embodiment, thermosetting lamination and corrugated spring 80 are ringwise, make that they can be between gear ring 64 and front shroud dish 22, therefore the contact force of frictional interface is that gear ring 64 is remained on only power on the dead position with respect to front shroud dish 22, back cover dish 42 and an inner cover dish 62, if you are using.
Therefore thermosetting lamination and corrugated spring be designed to when obtain one be scheduled to " Xie Zha " moment of torsion the time, friction force will be overcome, thereby make gear ring 64 make orbiting motion with planetary wheel 50.By obtaining a kind of like this Xie Zha and gear ring 64 is rotated with planet gear 50, skilled person in the art is understood that gear ring 64 and planetary wheel 50 will be gone up in situ and rotates, so just do not have orbiting motion to be delivered on gear wheel shaft 48 or the wheel hub 44.
Aforesaid and as another embodiment, for example, handwheel 12 can manufacture any concrete form.Thus, further as can be known, a bar 12a has or does not have traditional ratchet device 13, can replace handwheel dish 12, as shown in figure 11.In this embodiment, be suitable for rotating effectively as described above basically the sun gear 26, need do not do other special modification except making bar 12a.In addition, described in specification sheets, be used for the device that each geared parts and rotating parts cover can be adopted multiple pattern, can be with or without one or more stationary disks as shown in the figure.
By the detailed description of above handwheel to ergonomical of the present invention, only should understand otherwise break away from the scope of spirit of the present invention or appended claims, also can make multiple variation.
